Middle Fork Willamette River Cleanup

Join Oregon Wild and our partners from around the Eugene/Springfield community to improve the recreational and ecological value of our local stretch of the Middle Fork Willamette River. This event will provide a great opportunity to contribute to a healthy environment by picking up litter, pulling invasive weeds, and caring for native plants; and also a chance to connect with new people and communities. Come prepared to get a little dirty, and we will provide the gloves, trash bags, tools, and pre- and post-work refreshments. Sturdy footwear and work gloves are recommended.
